About the project

The HB Williams Memorial Library is one of the most used Council facilities, with up to 5000 visitors a week. The community identified the library extension as one of the top priorities through the 2012 – 2022 Ten Year Plan process.

More space was needed to deliver a modern library service to the community. The extension has provided:

• flexible accommodation for the annually increasing visitor numbers• fit-for-purpose information technology facilities.• news and media lounge spaces, a research centre.• dedicated study spaces.• improved accessibility.• a reduction in building maintenance costs over the next 25 years.
